Step-by-step solution for: beginner Do and Does Worksheets With Answers for Grade 1, 2, 3 ...
Let’s solve each sentence by deciding whether to use do or does.
Remember the rule:
- Use does with: he, she, it, or any singular noun (like “your mother”, “he”, “she”)
- Use do with: I, you, we, they, or any plural noun
---
Left Worksheet:
1. ___ you want to go to the party?
→ “you” → use do → ✔ Do
2. I ___ not have a pencil
→ “I” → use do → ✔ do
3. ___ they go shopping?
→ “they” → use do → ✔ Do
4. ___ he exercise daily?
→ “he” → use does → ✔ Does
5. ___ your mother cook today?
→ “your mother” = singular → use does → ✔ Does
6. ___ you want to paint?
→ “you” → use do → ✔ Do
7. ___ they want to go with you?
→ “they” → use do → ✔ Do
8. ___ he go swimming?
→ “he” → use does → ✔ Does
---
Right Worksheet:
1. I ___ not have any work to do.
→ “I” → use do → ✔ do
2. ___ he visit your home?
→ “he” → use does → ✔ Does
3. I ___ my work on time.
→ This is tricky — but looking at context, it’s likely meant to be negative or question? Wait — actually, this sentence as written is incomplete for “do/does” unless it’s negative or question. But since all others are questions or negatives, and this one says “I ___ my work on time.” — probably missing “do” for emphasis or negation? Actually, rechecking — in standard grammar exercises like this, if it’s positive statement, we don’t usually fill “do/does” unless it’s for emphasis or negation. BUT — looking again, maybe it’s supposed to be “I ___ not do my work on time”? No — original says: “I ___ my work on time.” Hmm.
Wait — let me check the image again mentally. The right worksheet #3 says: “I ___ my work on time.” — that doesn’t fit the pattern of questions or negatives. Unless... perhaps it’s a typo? Or maybe it’s meant to be “I ___ not do my work on time?” But no — the instruction is “Write does or do to complete each sentence.”
Actually — looking back at left worksheet #2: “I ___ not have a pencil” — so negative uses “do”. Right worksheet #1: “I ___ not have any work to do.” — also negative.
But #3 on right: “I ___ my work on time.” — this is positive. In English, we don’t normally put “do” in positive statements unless for emphasis. For example: “I DO finish my work on time!” — but that’s emphatic.
Given the context of the worksheet, and that all other sentences are either questions or negatives, this might be an error — OR — perhaps it’s meant to be “I ___ not do my work on time?” But the text doesn’t say “not”.
Wait — let me think differently. Maybe it’s “I ___ do my work on time.” meaning “I always do...” — but still, “do” would be redundant.
Actually — looking at common worksheets, sometimes they include affirmative sentences where “do” is used for habit or general truth — but technically, for present simple, we don’t add “do” in affirmatives except for emphasis.
BUT — here’s the key: the instruction is “Write does or do to complete each sentence.” So even if it’s awkward, we must choose based on subject.
Subject is “I” → so if we MUST fill, it should be “do” — because “I do my work on time” is grammatically correct (though unusual without context). Alternatively, maybe it’s a mistake and should be “I ___ not do...” — but we have to go with what’s given.
Looking at similar problems online or standard practice — often in such worksheets, if it’s a positive statement with “I”, and no “not”, they still expect “do” if it’s part of the verb phrase — but actually, no — in present simple, “I do my homework” is fine — “do” is the main verb, not auxiliary.
Wait — confusion arises. Let’s clarify:
In the sentence “I ___ my work on time.” — if we’re filling auxiliary “do/does”, then it only makes sense if it’s negative or question. Since it’s not, perhaps it’s a trick? Or maybe it’s “I [always] do my work on time” — and “do” is the main verb? But the task is about auxiliary “do/does” for questions/negatives.
This is ambiguous. But let’s look at the left worksheet — all sentences are clearly questions or negatives. Right worksheet #3 is the only odd one.
Perhaps it’s a typo and should be “I ___ not do my work on time.” — but we can’t assume that.
Another possibility: in some dialects or contexts, “I do my work on time” is acceptable as a statement of habit — and “do” is the main verb, not auxiliary. But the worksheet is teaching auxiliary “do/does” for forming questions and negatives.
Given that, and since the subject is “I”, if we MUST choose, it should be “do” — because “I does” is wrong.
So I’ll go with do — assuming it’s meant to be “I do my work on time” as a habitual action, and “do” is being used as the main verb — but wait, the instruction is to write “do or does” to complete the sentence — implying auxiliary.
This is confusing. Let me check online examples.
Actually, upon second thought — in many elementary worksheets, they include sentences like “I ___ like apples.” expecting “do” — even though it’s positive — to reinforce subject-verb agreement. But strictly speaking, it’s incorrect grammar to insert auxiliary “do” in positive declarative sentences.
However, for the sake of this exercise, and since “I” takes “do”, I’ll put do.
Alternatively — maybe it’s “I ___ not do my work on time.” and the “not” is missing? But the image shows “I ___ my work on time.” — no “not”.
Looking back at user’s image description — right worksheet #3: “I ___ my work on time.” — and there’s a house icon — perhaps unrelated.
To resolve: let’s see the answer pattern. All other sentences follow the rule strictly. For consistency, since subject is “I”, we use “do” — even if the sentence structure is odd.
So: do
But wait — another idea: perhaps it’s “I ___ do my work on time.” meaning “I make sure to do...” — but still.
I think the safest bet is to apply the rule: subject “I” → use “do”.
Similarly, for #5: “They ___ like to go to the park.” — “they” → use “do”
#6: “___ you like bananas?” — “you” → “Do”
#7: “___ she like to wear heels?” — “she” → “Does”
#8: “___ they visit the doctor?” — “they” → “Do”
And #3: “I ___ my work on time.” — I’ll go with do, assuming it’s a positive statement where “do” is used for emphasis or habit, or perhaps it’s a minor error in the worksheet.
Actually, let me double-check with standard grammar: In present simple, for affirmative sentences, we do NOT use auxiliary “do/does” unless for emphasis. So “I do my work on time” is correct if “do” is the main verb (meaning perform), but if the intended meaning is “I regularly complete my work on time”, then “do” is the main verb, not auxiliary.
The worksheet is titled “Do and Does” and focuses on auxiliary usage for questions and negatives. Sentence #3 on right is the only one that isn't a question or negative. This suggests it might be a mistake, but since we have to fill it, and subject is "I", the only grammatically possible choice is "do" (as in "I do my work" — main verb).
But the instruction is to write "do or does" to complete the sentence — implying auxiliary. This is problematic.
Perhaps in this context, for sentence #3, it's expected to be "do" as in "I do [indeed] do my work on time" — but that's stretched.
Given the constraints, and to match the pattern, I'll proceed with "do" for #3 right worksheet.
Final decision:
Right worksheet #3: do
